Its new world of [[Britechester]] is home to two rival campuses: [[University of Britechester]] and [[Foxbury Institute]]. Additional features include [[roommate]]s, the [[law]], [[education]] and [[engineering]] careers, toilet stalls and [[bicycle]]s. It is a spiritual successor to ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', with minor elements from ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. It is also the first university-themed pack that allows Sims to attend university off-campus, and allows non-students to visit and live in the campus world. ==Official description== Line 45 ⟶ 46: {{Main\|Britechester}} This pack introduces a new world called Britechester with two universities: University of Britechester and Foxbury Institute. ===Degrees=== {{Main\|Degree}} ''Discover University'' introduces thirteen degrees that are available at any university. Sims can take four classes per semester towards any normal degree, and each degree is associated with a few skills. Every full-time career benefits from at least one associated degree. {{expand}} Line 96 ⟶ 102: '''Other New Features''' Facial piercings Minimalistic tattoos [[Repo-man\|Repo-men]]<ref name="Sims Community livestream summary"/> [[Roommate]]s Line 109 ⟶ 115: ==Trivia== This is the ~~second~~fifth ~~time~~expansion inpack for ''[[The Sims ~~(series)\|The Sims]]~~4'' ~~series~~to ~~that~~include a ~~university~~non-~~themed~~temporary ~~pack~~playable ~~includes multiple universities, the first being ''~~[[~~The~~life ~~Sims 2~~state]]: ~~University~~[[servos]]''.
